Any Artix Linux users here?

[ron.alan]

As the subject title states, are there any Artix Linux users here on the forums? I've been thinking about testing it out and am wondering if I could get any help here if I need it.

One question I guess I could ask now is this: I use a second hard drive for my personal files. Is the procedure to have it always be mounted the same as what I use for Debian based Linuxes? This is what I do:

In terminal enter:
1) sudo mkdir /mnt/mountOLD
2) sudo chown $USER:$USER /mnt/mountOLD
Then in fstab I add the UUID number followed by: /mnt/mountOLD ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2

It's based on Arch, and we have a few arch aficionados who will probably help

I used Artix some time ago and it is really nice. I think that it should automatically revognize both hard disks during the installation so you don't need to edit fstab. However I had single disk with Artix so I may be wrong.
Personally I am quite surprised that the installer may not see two disk during the installation. When I had similar setup Linux always recognized both and fstab did not require any additional editing. I guess it depends on the hardware.

Anyway good luck with Artix.

Yep, moi.

It's quite good.

Thanks for your input. I'll probably download the iso later today and give it a spin.

Yep, moi.

This gives me more incentive to try it out.

@wizardfromoz Do you use a GUI for pacman?

Regrets, Ron - I missed that last question from over a month ago.

@wizardfromoz Do you use a GUI for pacman?

No, I just use pacman. Pamac is OK as a gui, haven't used octopi for years, anywhere.

This is the first time I've heard of Artix.

Fstab is distro-agnostic, I don't know of any distro that does not use fstab

Artix is really good. As you already know it's Arch without Systemd, however Artix has its own package repository, meaning that packages might be outdated by a week compared to Arch's repos, there's less packages overall and some might require some troubleshooting after update (rare), though you can just enable Arch's repos to install whatever is missing on Artix's side.

For some reason the graphical live ISOs of Artix are a buggy mess and many times the graphical output doesn't even work, so I had to install using the tty ISO that provides only the manual installation method
